Tannoy Canterbury GR Placement in a 23' x 34' room with 12.5' ceiling


Just ordered a pair of Canterbury GRs for a dedicated listening room.  Any recommendations on whether I should start off with them on the long wall or the short wall? I have read that they like to be FAR from the side walls.  I'll be driving them with a pair of Pass Labs XA 60.5 monoblocks.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Keith

Though I've never owned, or heard for that matter, Canterbury's, I have a custom built pair of 12" Tannoy HPD's in 150 liter bass reflex enclosures, using nearly 200lbs. of MDF per side.

My room is 16'.5" W X 34' L w/cathedral ceilings. My speakers are well out into the listening room, and 4'6" from sidewalls, they fill this room beautifully with a 9 Wpc SET 300B, a 25 Wpc  SET 845, or 500 Wpc class d amp. 

I have no doubt that you should fall permanently in love with the Canterbury GR's/
